FOLK, BLUES-ROCK, GOSPEL, REGGAE
The only concert in the Rhône-Alpes region, with no Swiss shows this year — this is one you simply cannot afford to miss!
Regarded as one of the finest singer-songwriters of his generation, Ben Harper is one of those rare artists who moves freely across genres without ever losing himself.
Free-spirited folk-soul, hard-hitting blues, soul-lifting gospel, deep-grooving funk: together with his Innocent Criminals, he has crafted a sound that is entirely his own.
Thirty years on stage, eighteen albums, over sixteen million records sold, three Grammys, and an instantly recognisable voice: from "Walk Away" and "Burn One Down" to "Diamonds On The Inside," "Forever," and "Boa Sorte," Ben Harper has written some of the most beautiful chapters in contemporary blues-rock, rooted in a deep and genuine understanding of gospel and soul.
A socially conscious singer-songwriter and an American who loves France so much he calls it home, he returns in 2026 with his full historic band — seven musicians on stage — riding the momentum of the 2025 EP Before The Rain Dried, an extension of his last album Wide Open Light.
At Guitare en Scène, expect a concert of rare quality, where every song lands with uncommon intensity — and where defiance is whispered rather than shouted.
